Jequirity aka rosary peas are a similar story - they contain abrin, a poison with similar chemical properties and just as deadly if not moreso. What's more is that accidental poisoning is common - like castor beans, dried rosary peas are often drilled and used as beads (hence the name) and they are so poisonous that inhaling the dust from this process can cause serious illness or death because it is really absorbed by the lungs

@deadandburied7626 23 дня назад

I've known about castor plants for rodent control since I was very young. My maternal Grandparents would plant them every so many feet in the rows of root/tuber vegetables to kill voles and moles because they would eat the roots of the castor plant on their way to the turnips, carrots, rutabagas, etc. The plants were kept pruned to encourage more root growth, and cut down on seed pods.

The two of them decided to have a competition to see who could eat the most beans whole. The beans were also close to 20 years old, and had been stored alongside mercury. The two of them went up to the teacher at the end of the lesson to complain that they were feeling sick; after they admitted what they'd done, she had them rushed to hospital.

When I was a kid my friends and I used castor beans from a plant growing on the edge of our elementary school's field as play currency. I remember opening the shells around the bean with my teeth once. I also remember biting into a bean, and panicking because I thought it might be poisonous so I washed out my mouth with water. So I guess I wasn't completely retarded.

As a emergency physician I have come across cyanide poisoning once before. The person survived but they were severely disabled by it permanently. Hydroxocobalamin (antidote called cyanokit/very high dose B12) saved their life. But I’ve never seen ricin poisoning irl. There would be nothing we could do as you mentioned except supportive treatment/palliative care. It’s just always blown my mind how easy it is to acquire.

@titaniusanglesmith9690 Год назад

how were they exposed to the cyanide?

@stigrabbid589 Год назад

The B12 antidote for Cyanide is really interesting, the most common version used in supplements is cyanocobalamin, and basically hydroxocobalamin absorbs the cyanide to form cyanocobalamin, which your body just gets rid of as B vitamins are water soluble.

If you plan on growing this plant yourself, I recommend cutting the flower stalks off soon after flowering or the pods, once dry, will cast beans all over the place, which quickly germinate.

He told me numerous crazy stories about how different the times were when he was a first voted in as sheriff in the 70’s. He spoke about things that he got away with and things he almost got caught for and different court cases he was able to help with for his friends around the county. Once I finished up we walked out to the front door and I asked him about this beautiful plant he had on the edge of his porch. He says- “oh you’d never imagine what that is. It’s a caster plant. You can pretty much boil it down and make ricin with it. I was given the plant in my early 20’s by a local fbi guy I used to drink with” I left there and my imagination didn’t stop running for a full week lol.
